Newshound Ashleigh Banfield let her journalism instincts get the best of her during labor. The Court TV anchor stayed glued to her computer Sunday night, working on a piece for Cosmopolitan after she received an e-mail from the magazine. Her husband, Howard Gould, ultimately had to manually remove her from the keyboard himself.

My husband literally had to pull me out of the chair and drag me away.

They still made it to the hospital on time and their son, Ridley Banfield, arrived early Monday morning.
